Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 760 Should I Tell Him? (3 more)
Zhao Xi's eyes fell on the letter of credence for a long time.

It was within his expectation that Beiyan would retreat because of Amur, but he didn't expect that there would be an initiative to ask for a marriage.

What was even more unexpected was that the princess offered to marry Yun Huai.

Yunhuai is a person from the Jianghu, he is not under the control of the court in his daily affairs, if he hastily ordered him to marry Beiyan's Princess Heqin, he may not be willing to be happy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi put down the letter of credence, fetched a pen and paper, and dipped it in ink to repair a letter and sent it to Liangzhou City.

……

At the right time, the Ministry of Rites released the rankings, and there were huge crowds of examinees who came to copy the rankings.

The gentle cloth shop is in Xiaoyongfang, which is relatively close to here. Song Yuanbao and Xu Dengke went directly there to sit and drink tea, waiting for the servants to copy the list.

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was invited by Wen Wan, a woman in her thirties, with a charming charm.

Knowing that one of these two is the young master and the other is a gentleman from the master's family, and seeing that Xu Dengke was born elegant and handsome, he joked with him.

Xu Dengke had a very good temperament, even if he was not familiar with the other party, he did not show any impatience. When the shopkeeper said, he just listened quietly, answered a few words from time to time, and occasionally brought the teacup to his lips to take a sip.

Seeing that the shopkeeper knew him well, he was about to inquire about his marriage, but was interrupted panting by Kaner who came back from copying the list, "Young master, sir, you won."

"Who won?" Song Yuanbao looked at him.

"They're all hit!" Kan'er was panting so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Song Yuanbao poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. By the way, he took the slip of paper from his hand to see, and it was indeed a hit.

Xu Dengke won the first place in this year's test, and he took the second place.

In fact, this result was already expected by Song Yuanbao. After all, even Song Wei boasted of Xu Dengke's talents. He had been reminded at the beginning that Xu Dengke would be his biggest opponent this year.

However, the state of mind that has been expected and seen with one's own eyes is still different after all.

Probably because he was used to taking the first place in school since he was a child, but suddenly he was inferior to others, and he felt a little indescribably complicated.

I think that when I was in the provincial examination, I fell asleep until I handed in the paper, and I still took the Jieyuan. Because of the pressure, I took a lot of effort, but in the end I still lost to Xu Dengke.

Song Yuanbao looked at the copied list and sighed silently.

Complicated emotions are certain, but if you want to say how frustrated, it is not enough.

One reason is that under the subtle influence of Song Wei, as he grew older, his mentality became much calmer and more stable.

Second, he has already experienced more frustration than this.

When he went to Yutang Palace to study with him, Zhao Xi could crush him to the ground every time he took the exam, and he couldn't turn over. That abnormality was not only crushed in the exam, but also in other aspects.

It should be said that Zhao Xi crushed him in all directions, the kind that didn't leave any room for him.

Compared with Zhao Xi, Song Yuanbao felt that the setbacks he suffered at Xu Dengke's place were not setbacks.

After comforting himself in this way, he handed the note to Xu Dengke, cupped his hands, and smiled calmly, "Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Xi, I will treat you to dinner later."

Hearing what Song Yuanbao said, Xu Dengke guessed his ranking without looking at it. He took the note, and it was true.

Smiling, Xu Dengke said: "The treat is for sure, but all my money is with Agui. I will ask him to book a restaurant later."

Speaking of Agui, Song Yuanbao almost choked on his tea, "Him?"

That's a broken voice!Damn stingy!All of Xu Dengke's money is in his hands, and he can pick it up better than a woman. Asking him to book a restaurant, he might as well go home and cook a bowl of noodles.

Xu Dengke asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Yuanbao said bluntly: "Can we let us choose the land ourselves?"

"Of course." Xu Dengke nodded, "Let's go wherever Master Song says."

"No, master!"

As soon as Xu Dengke finished speaking, Agui rushed in from the outside and directly turned into a human-shaped abacus, "You just bought a big wolf hair, a small wolf hair, a piece of Hui ink and a piece of Chengxin paper this month. The total cost Ten taels or seventy dollars is already seriously overspending, if you book a good restaurant, you will have to become a pauper again."

Song Yuanbao: "..."

He really couldn't listen anymore, and knocked on the table, "Hey, I said, those things you bought seem to be spent on money from the Song family's account."

Agui stared at Song Yuanbao confidently, "That's money, if you overspend, you're overspending!"

Song Yuanbao rolled his eyes, "Did the ten taels and seven dollars all go into your pocket? I found that you are very good at making money. You shouldn't be a servant, you should go to a restaurant to be a bookkeeper."

Agui said slightly, "I am willing to be a servant, can you control me?"

Song Yuanbao made fun of him, "If you have been working as a servant, how can you marry my aunt? Can you afford the money? Just relying on extorting your master's monthly money, you will have to save it until the year of the monkey?"

Agui was annoyed by what he said, so he chased Song Yuanbao and beat him with the broom next to the door.

……

Several people had a lot of discussions in Buzhuang, but it was arranged by Wen Wan. She knew that Xu Dengke's family was not rich, and spent a lot of money for him to study, so she couldn't bear to let him pay for the restaurant, so she let The back kitchen added manpower to make the noodles.

Song Wei has not been home since he was selected as the chief examiner in the first month of the lunar year. Today's announcement is considered to be returning to the mansion after an absence of more than a month.

The two tribute scholars who got the best exams this year were both in the Song Mansion, so the meal was very lively.

After the people dispersed, Wen Wan went back to the room, and only mentioned to Song Wei what happened at the Su family.

At the end, Wen Wan asked him, "Sir, do you have any good ways to solve this matter?"

Song Wei fell into a brief silence.

As early as when Amur was brought back, he knew that the child was the chosen one of the Jiuli tribe. It was impossible for Amur to stay in the Su family all his life, and he would have to leave sooner or later.

It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

What's more, he didn't expect that Amur's situation in Chu State was so difficult.

After all, as a father, no matter what the status of the other party is, Song Wei always has a feeling of intolerance in the face of a three or four-year-old child.

"Since His Highness wants to use him as a bargaining chip in exchange for peace between the two countries, there is no possibility of changing this matter." Song Wei said.

Although Zhao Xi was young, he was sophisticated and thoughtful in handling things. He was able to make such a decision, presumably he had already thought it through.

Today's Zhao Xi, after experiencing last year's Winter Solstice Rebellion, no longer shy away from his edge, his edges and corners are getting sharper day by day. It can be seen.

As expected, Emperor Guangxi did not choose the wrong person. Leaving aside the point of "emphasis on affection", Zhao Xihui would be a rare and good emperor.

……

Liangzhou City, Fortune Inn.

Yun Huai was seriously injured and is still recuperating.

Yun Shisan, who got the first-hand information, was very entangled, and didn't know whether to tell the Patriarch at this time.

He struggled all morning, and decided to consult with someone first, and arrived outside Xu Jia's room before he knew it.

Xu Jia just got up and washed up, when she heard a knock on the door, she quickly came out and opened the door.

Seeing clearly that the person standing outside was Yun Shisan, Xu Jia was quite surprised, "What do you want me to do?"

Ever since Yun Huai woke up, she changed rooms, she was not on the same floor as them, and she did not see Yun Huai again.

The reason why she still lives here is that she is waiting for the news of the victory. She wants to go back to Beijing with her father and Ye Rong. I don't know when to spend it.

"Well, husband..." Yun Shisan originally wanted to call her "Madam" as before, but felt it was inappropriate, so he changed his words, "Miss Xu, I want to ask you to make up your mind about something."

Xu Jia stood aside and opened the door, "Then come in."

Yun Shisan stepped over the threshold, went to the round table and sat down.

Xu Jia asked him, "What's the matter?"

Yun Shisan hesitated and said, "Beiyan took the initiative to ask for peace."

"That's a good thing!" Xu Jia's expression relaxed, and he could hear the obvious joy.

"However, they are conditional."

"Huh? Under what conditions?"

"That is, the state of Chu sent the person they wanted there, and Beiyan sent another princess to make a marriage, but that princess, she didn't follow the common sense, and directly said in the letter of credence that she would not marry the royal family, and she wanted to marry my master by name. , that is, the owner of the house."

"Ah?" Xu Jia couldn't keep up with the big turn for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that her reaction seemed a little strange, so she added, "Oh."

"That princess must have bad intentions!" Yun Shisan said bitterly: "She is the biological daughter of the Imperial Concubine Beiyan, what kind of good can she be? The Patriarch killed their two masters, and she will marry the Patriarch. It is obvious that he is seeking revenge."

"That may not be true." Xu Jia said, "Perhaps they think that your patriarch is a powerful person who survived killing the two masters. Have you taken a fancy to him?"

"But the Patriarch is seriously injured now." Yun Shisan looked at Xu Jia, "Do you think I should tell him right away that he is going to be Beiyan's son-in-law?"
